Beccy's Holiday Challenge 2018

Yay! The yearly Holiday Card Challenge

at Beccy's Place has started.

Every year I look forward to this challenge.

Now this special November challenge runs for the 6th time,

and I think I have joined in every year.

The challenge takes place the whole month of November.

So I should perhaps wait until tomorrow with my card?

Here in Europe we still are in October!

But I'll post my card now and see what happens.

I used:

Creme double card A6 and creme paper,

Some scrap papers.

Stencil for the background: Prima.

Angel image: The Norwegian fb group "Digistamp".

Flower punch: EK Success

Text written on computer.

Dies: Lifestyle "Doily Circle" and Cottage Cutz "Ivy".

Distress inks, Brown pen, Rhine stone.

Sympathy Card

One of my good Norwegian friends died some days ago.

He and his wife were true members of my Church,

and they were prayers

who brought my needs as their pastor

and the needs of the Church before God.

I thank God for them both.

The card I made for his wife is not a typical sympathy card.

With the flowers and the text
I also want to show my thankfulness and joy

because my friend now has gone to his beloved Savior.

Birthday Card With Freesias

I struggled with the colours on this card.

And I don't know if I really succeeded.

I find Beccy's own colouring so great,

so I want to find colours on the papers

that go with the colours of the image.

The green border on this photo is darker than it is on the card.

 Sorry for that!

Christmas Card With Traditional Norwegian Decoration

In Norway, where I come from,

we use to make "Christmas baskets" to hang on the tree.

These baskets may be filled with sweets,

or they are just a decoration.

As a little girl back home in Norway

and later as a teacher there,

I made lots of such baskets.

We use to keep them for next year and the year after that ......

Today I have made a "mini Christmas basket" for this card.

I used:

Dark green double card A6,

Creme paper for the mat,

Green, red and gold scrap papers,

Twigs and heart basket dies: Marianne Design.

Unknown die for the label.

Heart border punch: Martha Stewart.
